Leinster face off against Lions in United Rugby Championship Round 17 on Sat 9th May 2026 at TBC. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 17:30 and is broadcast on Premier Sports. In South Africa it’s at 18:30 SAST on SuperSport, 04:30 NZST on URC TV in New Zealand, 02:30 AEST on URC TV in Australia and 09:30 EST on Flo Rugby in the US.
Leinster won the last encounter but both teams are in the same form for their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 1 place in the league table with Lions in 6th and Leinster in 7th underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Leinster vs Lions will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
